Kids contests are contests where children under the age of 18 or another designated age compete in different categories to win prizes and titles. Contest categories typically include talent, interviews, and formal wear. Children’s contests are mostly for girls, but some contests have male participants as well.
Children’s pageants originated in the United States in the 1960s and have since grown into a very lucrative industry. Each contest has its own rules and regulations, but most contests require an entry fee. Other expenses related to a contest might include travel and lodging, clothes, hair, makeup, and the cost of hiring show coaches. These costs sometimes add up to make it very expensive for children to compete in children’s contests.
A pageant could be classified as a natural show or a pageant show. In a glitzy pageant, it’s very common for contestants to wear a lot of makeup, hair extensions, spray tan, and artificial teeth to disguise missing teeth or a less-than-perfect smile. In a natural show, the contestant wears minimal makeup and no fake hair, false teeth, and sanitized tan are allowed.
Most contests for children are divided into age groups. In a typical show, the age groups are 0-5, 6-11, 12-16, and 17 and up. Some contests may have different age groups.
The competition typically consists of several categories of competition. The talent portion of a contest features contestants showcasing a talent, such as dancing or singing, on stage for a certain amount of time. The contests also have parts during which contestants model dresses such as formal wear. Some contests have a swimsuit contest, but this is more common in contests for older contestants. The last part of a children’s contest is usually the interview, during which the judges ask each contestant one or more questions.
At the conclusion of a children’s contest, prizes and titles are typically awarded. Prizes could include toys, college scholarships, and cash. Winning a title usually comes with a sash, trophy, crown, or other keepsake.
There can be multiple prizes and titles awarded to a contest. One winner could be selected from each age group and an overall winner chosen from all contestants. Judges usually consider all parts of the contest when choosing a winner. Winning a local contest could allow a contestant to enter a regionally-level children’s contest, and winning a regional contest could allow a contestant to progress to a national contest.
